I'm back with a new KidStar story. This one is placed six years after they defeated the kishin Asura in the anime. Characters may be a little ooc at points, it's been six years, people change at least a little, but other than that they should still be their same old selves...kind of.

Warnings for this story: KidxBlack-Star mostly, SoulxMaka (You'll see that in the first paragraph), plenty of violence/gore, some character deaths (Sorry), and language.

So if you dislike yaoi, swearing or fights, I apologize and you can enjoy either another one of my stories or something else. I love all of you who are reading this and hopefully continue reading this story. X's and O's. Enjoy the sad and dramatic story.

The restaurant's host noticed the struggling woman and man trying to get the doors open, he ran over and pulled open the door. The host gave the couple a smile that wasn't one of his well-known fake one,s that he became popular for and he hadn't had a real smile in this place in a long time.

"Thank you." The man said. "If my wife here wasn't so stubborn, we'd be fine." He chuckled.

"I'm not stubborn and I don't need help all the time." The woman insisted. The host gave her a raised eyebrow as the man gestured towards her protruding stomach. "The baby isn't going to die because I wanted to open my own door for the first time in seven months."

"congratulations to the two of you, now do you have a reservation?" The host asked.

"Yes we do. A table for four. Evans." The man stated, smiling and showing his oddly sharp teeth.

"Will the others be joining you soon?" The host asked, grabbing four menus from his podium.

"Yes, they should be here any minute now." The woman said and tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear, her curled pigtails didn't get all of her bangs. The host nodded and showed the way to their table. His smile returned as he watched the man pull the chair out for his wife and with a roll of her green eyes, she sat down and allowed herself to be pushed in.

"What would you like to drink?"

"Cherry coke." The two said together and they started laughing. The host chuckled and walked off to get the couple their beverages.

"This is crazy." The woman sighed. "It's been five whole years since we've seen them Soul."

"I think you being pregnant is crazier Maka." Soul said and kissed Maka's cheek.

"It's a close second." Maka said and patted her stomach. She suddenly stood up and let out a squeal. Soul turned and saw her hugging two other men.

"Nice to know you guys are alive." Soul said to his old friends.

"You got fat." The man with blue hair stated.

"Idiot, she's pregnant." The other man cuffed him.

"And they never changed." Soul chuckled. "Come and take a seat you crazy bastards." Soul was soon joined by the other three. "You grew Black-Star." He commented, noticing that the blue-haired man's arms were larger than before and he was finally the same height as the man sitting next to him.

"Construction work will do that to ya." Black-Star said.

"You have a job?" Maka chuckled in disbelief.

"We both do." The star said.

"What do you do Kid?" Soul asked the paler man.

"I teach martial arts in my own dojo." Kid answered.

"That's cool." Soul said, sharing a look with Maka. A waiter came up to the table and set down the cherry Cokes down. Kid and Black-Star both asked for Sprite and the waiter nodded and left.

"What have you two been doing with your lives, beside the obvious." Kid chuckled. Maka and Soul both stood up and removed their jackets, rolling up their sleeves to show scars and burn marks covering their arms.

"We've been in war for four years." They said together and sat back down

"What do you mean?" Kid asked, hoping this was a horrible joke.

"A year after you guys left. Two years after Asura's defeat...they came back." Soul rolled his sleeves back down and Maka did as well.

"Who came back?"

"Kishins and they aren't normal." Maka said. "We need you guys to come back." She begged. "We need you two."

"We can't go back." Black-Star stated.

"You have to." Soul said.

"We can't!" Black-Star snapped and stood up, almost knocking his chair over.

"Black-Star." Kid placed his hand over the star's and Soul noticed they were both wearing rings.

"You guys are married." Soul pointed to the ringed fingers. He then let out a small laugh. "Who are the poor women that married you guys?"

"Soul..." Maka saw that the rings were matching, both having a star carved into it. Soul saw the symbol and looked down.

"You two...I should have seen it coming. I'm your guys' friend, how did I not see it?"

"It's legal, you can come back." Maka stated, believing that to be the reason they had ran off.

"That's not the problem." Black-Star sat back down.

"Then come back, people are dying as we speak." Soul stated, looking back up.

"Why don't you ask my father, he's the one that kicked us out of Death City." Kid said with anger burning his bright amber eyes.

"What? Lord Death would never do that." Soul said.

"You weren't there. Black-Star and myself visited my father and told him we were together, I thought he would be happy, he always talked about me trying to be normal and live like a normal teenager but that wasn't the case. He said to either end it or to leave. So the next day we packed up and we left Death City." Kid was gripping the table as he told the story.

"You could have least said good-bye." Maka stated.

"We had to leave." Kid said as his apology and explanation.

"That's not good enough!" Maka slammed a fist into the table, startling other people in the restaurant. "Why didn't you tell us, we could have helped!"

"How? By making us lie? By trying to convince my father it's not wrong to be someone of the same gender?" Kid said through gritted teeth.

"We..." Maka rubbed a hand against her eye to dry it up, she was not going to cry over this. "If you would have stayed..." Maka heard her voice cracked, looks like she was wrong. "If you wouldn't be such a stubborn brat they wouldn't be dead!" She cried, hating her uncontrollable emotions from the child growing inside of her.

"Who's dead?"

"Too many to count."Soul said.

"How were we supposed to know that was going to happen?" Black-Star asked. "We figured you guys would be fine without us, if there was even a single thought of-"

"It's too late now!" Maka interrupted the star. The waiter returned with the clear sodas and set them down, the tension at the table grew in the silence.

"Have you decided what to eat yet?" The waiter asked, pulling a pen out of his pocket.

"Then why should we come back if it's too late?" Kid stated.

"Should I come back?" The waiter asked.

"You have to, we need you." Maka said.

"What right do you have to tell us what to do!?"

"I'll come back." The waiter rushed off.

"What right did you have to abandon us!?"

"We didn't abandon you!" Black-Star protested.

"That's what it felt like." Soul stated. "You left us without a single word of where you were going. That's what abandoning is."

"I'll show you what abandoning is. We are leaving Black-Star." Kid got out of his seat.

"But Kid-"

"Now!" Kid snapped and left the table.

"Go ahead and run, that's all you're good at now-a-days!" Maka shouted. "Run from us and your dying father!" Kid didn't hear the last part as he threw the doors open and out into the chilly night-time air, Black-Star following right beside him. This isn't how either of them wanted to end the night like this. They wanted a nice reunion with friends they haven't seen in years, but instead they argued over something as stupid as returning to their home city.

"Kid..." Black-Star said as they sat down in their car. "Maybe I should drive." He said, seeing Kid grip the steering wheel tightly.

"Why? I'm perfectly capable to take us home." Kid insisted and pulled the keys out of his pocket. Black-Star grabbed the shinigami's hand.

"You're not when you're pissed off." The star said and gently took the keys away. "Let me drive, please." Kid sighed and opened his door and got out. Black-Star climbed over to the driver's seat as Kid went around and sat down in the passenger's seat. "Are you okay?" Black-Star asked as he turned the car on.

"I just want some music." Kid flicked the radio on and a slow and sad song started to play.

"Fitting." The star muttered and turned out of the parking lot.

"Shut up." Kid said and changed stations.

"Memphis May Fire." Black-Star said as the new song played.

"Where were you when they had no faith in us..." Kid said the lyrics of the song and quickly changed it.

"Are you okay Kid?"

"I'm peachy and you?" Kid grumbled, placing his elbow on the window ledge and leaned his cheek against his fist.

"Peachy? Haven't heard that in a while." Black-Star laughed.

"Ass-hat."

"I thought that was my phrase." The star smirked. Kid rolled his eyes and pressed a button to make the window go down. "Roll your window up, it's freezing."

"Wimp." Kid chuckled and did as his partner asked.

"I like it when my balls aren't freezing." Was Black-Star's response.

"You're too much of a hot head to get cold." Kid said, drumming his fingers against the window.

"Well I'm good enough to be your spouse, so who's the hot head now?"

"Have we really been gone for five years?" Kid asked, staring at the passing lights and buildings.

"Yeah and they've been the best five years of my life."

"Now you're just getting sappy."

"You married me." Black-Star said as he pulled into the small driveway that sat next to their small house. "Home sweet home." The star turned off the ignition and followed Kid into the house. Black-Star went straight to the kitchen and Kid turned the television on, going to the news channel.

"Someone robbed the gas station." Kid said.

"Again?" Black-Star asked.

"Yeah, some child with a sword."

"A sword?" The star laughed and exited the kitchen with two sandwiches in his hands. "He's not a child, he's seventeen."

"I remember being seventeen." Kid sighed.

"Your birthday was a week before we left." Black-Star stated handing one of the sandwiches to Kid.

"Happy birthday to me." Kid muttered and sat down on the couch, placing his sandwich on a small table that sat on the end of the couch.

"Did they catch the dude?" Black-Star asked, taking a large bite out of his food.

"Easily, took them an hour to find, catch and put the boy in jail." Kid answered.

"Wanna rob a store?" The star joked, already halfway finished with his sandwich.

"Maybe in the morning after we bury the body that's stinking up the closet." When he spoke of someone being dead, Maka's scream about people dying now because they have been gone for so long, rang in his head.

"We'll need to get the shovel." Black-Star chuckled and finished his food. "Are you not hungry?" He asked, noticing Kid's sandwich was still untouched.

I don't have an appetite right now." Kid said.

"Still thinking about the argument?" The star asked moving over to be closer to Kid.

"No."

"I can tell you're lying." Black-Star said, using a hand to turn the other man's face towards him.

"I don't want to talk about it."

"You don't have to." Black-Star leaned forward and pressed their lips together.

"I'm not in the mood." Kid said as he allowed himself to be pushed down on to his back. The star didn't respond and kissed the other man again. Kid soon gave up and wrapped his arms around Black-Star's neck to deepen the kiss that was becoming very intense, very quickly.

A single gun shot snapped both men out of their mood. Black-Star jumped off the couch and Kid rolled over. They laid on their stomachs on the floor, covering their heads with their hands. Several shots fired into their home, shattering the window and a flower vase they had been given from one of Kid's younger students. The gunshots stopped and soon the silent house was filled with flashing red and blue lights.

"Are you okay Kid?" Black-Star asked, several pieces of glass covering Kid's back and his own.

"Yeah." They sat up and brushed themselves off. Kid got up went over to a container that held five frightened mice.

"They all still there?"

"Liz, Patty, Tsubaki, Soul and Maka." Kid said the mice's names out loud as he counted. "Yep, gang's all there."

"That's the third time this week." Black-Star looked through the broken window and saw several men being arrested and two being put into ambulances.

"I hate this town." Kid muttered and took the mice and himself into the bedroom.

"It's what we can afford." Black-Star stated and followed Kid.

"I'm calling in tomorrow, I'm out." Kid shook an empty pill bottle in his hand, standing in front of a dresser. "Do you need more?" Kid grabbed another bottle and found it empty as well. "How long have you been out?" He asked, slamming the bottle down.

"A couple days." The star admitted.

"Why didn't you tell me!?" Kid snapped.

"I don't like taking pills that make me weaker." Black-Star said.

"You have to. If they discover how strong you are they will sign you up for the military and we will never see each other again!" Kid knocked everything off of the dresser.

"That's not going to happen." Black-Star reassured and hugged Kid's waist.

"We don't have the protection of the DWMA anymore Black-Star. Either we act like we're normal or across the seas we go." Kid pulled the star's hand off of him.

"We can easily avoid the government."

"Then we'll be on the run. I like having a normal life." Kid said and plopped down on the bed. His head hitting the pillow hard and his feet soon following on the end of the mattress.

"Admit it Kid, you miss the excitement. You miss the adrenaline that rushed through your veins during a battle. Giving orders to keep others safe while we took out yet another bad guy. You miss being him." Black-Star climbed on the bed, straddling the other man's hips. "You miss being Kiddo."

"Do not call me that. That nickname is for a child that is long gone."

"It's your nickname, child or not. You are and you will always be; my Kiddo." Black-Star gently kissed Kid again, parting soon after.

"Why are you so adorable sometimes." Kid sighed, running a hand through the star's blue hair.

"I'm not adorable, I'm sexy. Adorable is what you call a puppy chasing it's tail, sexy is being the almighty Black-Star." Black-Star said with a wink.

"More like the almighty idiot." Kid chuckled.

"I will use your weakness." Black-Star threatened.

"You wouldn't dare." Kid said with a glare. The star smirked and Kid soon found himself being tickled. He hated how ticklish he was sometimes. "That's it." Kid said with a laugh and switched his and Black-Star's positions. The shinigami turned the alarm off and covered the mice's clear container with a blanket before slipping his shirt off. They were still refilling their bottles tomorrow, but there's nothing wrong with having some fun first.

Wow that was a long chapter and wow that was a lot of seriousness...

I like this story so far, I think I'm going to keep it. *Claps*

What do you guys think so far? Is it a keeper?
